Product Description

Description

Designed for high-precision industrial control processes, the BECKHOFF EL4122 is a 2-channel analog output EtherCAT Terminal operating within the 4 to 20 mA range. This module converts digital control values from the automation system into analog current signals with a high-resolution output of 16 bits. Electrically isolated from the E-bus, the terminal ensures reliable operation in noise-prone automation environments. Integrated distributed clock functionality provides highly accurate synchronization, supporting synchronization precision to less than 1 us, making it suitable for applications requiring strict timing alignments.

Features

  • Two channels of analog current outputs supporting a 4 to 20 mA signal range.
  • High-resolution 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion for accurate control.
  • Supports Distributed Clocks (DC) for precise synchronization down to less than 1 us.
  • Short-circuit proof design with load limits under 500 Ohm.
  • Configurable watchdog parameters and customizable user synchronization.
  • Compact 12 mm housing width maximizing DIN rail space.
  • Galvanic isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and the process signal levels.

Applications

  • Proportional valve control and positioning systems.
  • Variable speed drive speed referencing and modulation.
  • Process automation loop controllers in oil, gas, and water utilities.
  • Actuator and physical positioning control loops.
  • General manufacturing automation requiring precise analog setpoints.
